Across The Borderline x 5 (with all the border/immigration stuff goin' on)

"Freddy sings this song better than anyone else I have ever heard.

We saw the movie in the theater when it came out, and stayed through the credits to listen when this beautiful song came on.

The projectionist came out and stood next to us.

We apologized for keeping him, and he said we didn't, because he let it play-through every time, to hear this song"

Bob Dylan - Across The Borderline (Live at Farm Aid 1986)

Bob Dylan performs "Across The Borderline" with Tom Petty live via satellite for the Farm Aid concert in Austin, Texas on July 4, 1986. Farm Aid was started by Willie Nelson, Neil Young and John Mellencamp in 1985 to keep family farmers on the land and has worked since then to make sure everyone has access to good food from family farmers. Dave Matthews joined Farm Aid's board of directors in 2001. For more information about Farm Aid, visit: http://farmaid.org/youtube Farm Aid's performances are donated by the artists in order to raise funds and raise awareness for family farmers. They've raised their voices to help — what can you do?

Willie Nelson Across the Borderline

There's a place so I've been told, Where every street is paved with gold. And it's just across the borderline. And when it's time to take your turn There is a lesson that you must learn. You could lose more than you ever thought you'd find. And when you reach the broken promise land, And all your dreams slip through your hands And you know it's too late to change your mind. Because you've paid the price to come so far, Just to wind up where you are. And you're still just across the borderline. And when you reach the broken promise land, And all your dreams slip through your hands And you know it's too late to change your mind. Because you've paid the price to come so far, Just to wind up where you are. And you're still just across the borderline. Now up and down the Rio Grande, A thousand footprints in the sand, Reveal a secret no one can define. The river rolls on like a breath, In between our life and death. Tell me who's the next to cross the borderline. And when you reach the broken promise land, And all your dreams slip through your hands, And you know it's too late to change your mind. Because you've paid the price to come so far, Just to wind up where you are. And you're still just across the borderline. And you're still just across the borderline. Somebody Tell me who's the next to across the borderline
